Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 360 I Don't Want to Follow in Tianjin Capital's Footsteps Anymore

Lin Lang did not respond to Yang Xi's speculation about the matter; he was only interested in Wang Shengnan at the moment.

While Wang Shengnan's industry predictions weren't entirely accurate, they were generally sound.

As AI becomes more sophisticated and the commands used to employ it become more refined, the entertainment industry will inevitably undergo a dramatic transformation.

Even in a few years, the application of AI will not be enough to replace many traditional forms of entertainment, because the products generated will not be good enough and the cost of using them will be very high.

However, future generation will inevitably be real-time, and video generation represents a temporary peak.

In Lin Lang's view, even if the short drama market reaches a scale of hundreds of billions or even trillions in a few years, it is still not enough.

For many people, short dramas merely evoke emotions and don't truly offer the opportunity for appreciation.

It's hard to watch any short drama two or three times.

However, many classic TV series can be watched five or ten times...

Something that can be watched many times must be memorable and even resonate with people.

Short dramas don't have that ability; so much happens in just a few minutes, and the human brain can't keep up.

All I know is that my emotions were stirred up for a moment, and I wanted to keep watching, but what happened after I finished watching?

What did I see? What went through my mind? Never mind, the next one will be even better.

The essence of entertainment is to provide nourishment to the brain, making it more comfortable.

From a biological perspective, it stimulates the brain to secrete dopamine, but short dramas don't have that kind of sustained effect.

Some novels can be read a second time after the first reading, and even related fan fiction can be enjoyed immensely.

No matter how many times you've watched a certain TV show, you'll still linger on it whenever you see a clip, even if you've memorized all the lines.

This situation arises because of the quality of the content itself. No matter how good the quality of a short drama is, it won't leave a lasting impression because the story in a short drama is rushed and incomplete.

Any good cultural and entertainment product must provide the audience with a complete worldview and a complete storyline, making people feel that the world is real and has flesh and blood.

Once AI reaches its peak, the entertainment content it outputs will inevitably be more sophisticated and immersive.

This requires extremely high computing power, extremely high cost, and even higher operational skills.

However, such a day was destined to come very late.

When Lin Lang was reborn, he was only in the initial stages of his life.

At that time, AI video had been developing for several years, and global computing power had increased several hundred times compared to 2024, but it was still somewhat lacking.

Entertainment is a major consumer sector, which Lin Lang values ​​highly, and it's one of the keys to his ability to continue making grand promises.

Since Wang Shengnan has insights into this area, it shows that she has talent. Ten years later, when Lin Lang loses his vision, it is possible to find someone to take over.

When they got on the elevator, although Lin Lang and Yang Xi were both carrying things, Yang Xi still reached out and took Lin Lang's arm.

Lin Lang looked over, and Yang Xi immediately said, "Brother, let my classmate see this. Her family isn't really able to accept these things either..."

Yang Xi blushed slightly as she said this.

"What? You want to win her back?"

"Hmm, is that okay? Bro, do you have a plan? Do you need my help?"

"no way……"

Can that thing be bent back?

Anyway, Lin Lang doesn't know, and he would never do something so meaningless.

Soon, the elevator arrived, and Yang Xi went over and opened the door.

Hearing the noise at the door, Wang Shengnan immediately went over.

However, when she opened the door, she found Lin Lang and Yang Xi standing together.

She was shocked and immediately covered her upper body, saying, "Lin Lang, didn't you say you weren't bringing Yang Xi up?"

After saying that, she hurriedly ran into the bedroom.

Yang Xi and Lin Lang were both stunned for a moment, because neither of them expected that Wang Shengnan would wear such a sexy outfit.

Yang Xi knew very well that the outfit was the one she had been wearing for the photoshoot these past two days; it was a wool vest with a pure and alluring style.

Most importantly, the chest area can be opened, and Wang Shengnan opened it to its maximum.

Yang Xi turned to look at Lin Lang and said, "Brother, are you guys...?"

"Cough cough, nothing like that, who knows why she suddenly went crazy..."

Lin Lang never expected that Wang Shengnan's figure would be so stunning.

Although she had given him a picture before, the clothes in it were really not flattering, and Lin Lang couldn't appreciate them.

Now Wang Shengnan is wearing a normal, slightly provocative outfit, and she looks completely different.

She displayed a sexiness and charm that she had never shown before.

"Oh."

Yang Xi wasn't stupid; after all, what Wang Shengnan said itself contained a lot of information.

Why didn't you bring yourself up?

What do the two of them want to do?
Wang Shengnan even wore those kinds of clothes, which was quite unusual. What was he doing there?

After the two came in, Yang Xi asked Lin Lang to sit down and poured him a cup of hot water.

Actually, she never expected Lin Lang to come here. The previous message only said that he would pick her up to go to the hospital.

When she finished her work, she found that Wang Shengnan hadn't come out yet.

"Brother, I'll go see what's wrong with her."

"Okay, call her out. I need to talk to her about something."

"it is good."

Yang Xi walked to the door of Wang Shengnan's room, tried to open it first, but found it was locked from the inside, so he knocked on the door again.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, Wang Shengnan finally opened the door.

When Yang Xi came in, Wang Shengnan had already changed her clothes. It was the cool style that Yang Xi had always liked, with a bunch of metal ornaments on her clothes.

"Wang Shengnan, what exactly were you trying to do just now?"

Wang Shengnan said nonchalantly, "Just like you imagined. I was driven by love turned to hate and wanted to seduce your man."

"?????"

……

At 4 PM on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the subscription amount for Tianjin Long-Term Pioneer A officially exceeded 50 billion yuan.

Those who knew what Tianjin Capital was planning to do were undoubtedly given a shot in the arm.

Take Guan Sheng, for example. Was what Tianjin Capital did illegal?
Ultimately, it's definitely against the rules, but it's not against the rules in name only. As long as Yan Li and Lin Lang don't come forward and say that they are the ones who manage these two funds, everything will be fine.

They believed that Lin Lang wouldn't be that stupid; he would most likely have the fund managers of the two funds make the decisions secretly through meetings, rather than directly telling them what to buy.

He only provides a direction; how can he control what other fund managers buy?

As for the financial statements, they are also separate and mainly handled by the fund manager. As long as Lin Lang and Yan Li's signatures are not required, it will be fine.

These data won't be specifically listed in the general financial records.

In fact, it is quite common for many public funds to hold more than 5% of certain stocks, but it is not against regulations for multiple funds and multiple fund managers.

From a strategic perspective, as long as one fund doesn't buy aggressively while another fund sells aggressively, there won't be a problem.

The more you buy, the better, as it indicates stronger support for the stock market.

Guan Sheng, working behind the scenes, has a clear view of other public funds' data, making it easy for him to know how many shares those public funds still hold and what their current focus is.

However, he has no way of predicting what will happen in the future.

At present, it is still not possible to prove that other public funds are preparing to invest in liquor stocks.

Since liquor is already a large part of their portfolio, we'll only know for sure when their tech funds have secretly flowed into liquor stocks.

This has not happened yet.

In short, it all depends on how strong Lin Lang's operation is this time. If it's not strong enough, Tianjin Capital might be buried.

A month or two of hardship is bearable, but a year or two of hardship is unbearable, not to mention the fund investors who couldn't hold on, even those who lent money to Tianjin Capital couldn't survive.

No matter how impressive Tianjin Global Selection's performance is, it can only have a limited amount of credit. Tianjin Capital's core business remains in China.

He has been doing everything he can to help Tianjin Capital apply for a foreign exchange quota, but... it's very difficult to get it approved.

This means that Tianjin Capital will not be able to issue a second QDII fund in the short term.

According to his estimate, it will take at least until the second half of the year.

This is already the limit; normally, it should be given out by the end of the year.

Given the current situation, Guan Sheng really couldn't think of any good solutions.

Those ten stocks will inevitably hit their daily limit down after trading resumes. Apart from CATL, a newly listed stock, the selling pressure on the other stocks will be unprecedented.

A direct hit? Impossible!

If Tianjin Capital takes over, the shareholders might all cash out and reduce their holdings.

During this time, he reviewed Lin Lang's original plan more than once, and the more he reviewed it, the more he felt that he had lost his mind back then.

Because the probability of it happening is almost zero.

Looking back on my initial thoughts, the reason I was able to agree with them was mainly because... no one had ever thought of it that way before.

Moreover, as they went through the process, they discovered that most of their plans were similar to Lin Lang's.

In reality, it's far from that.

The financial market is all about money, but it's more than just money.

Tianjin Capital recklessly took on a huge position, and if they get trapped, they might never be able to recover.

After all, it's not like any good news will necessarily cause a stock to rise.

After all, the market value of the stock has already been increased by leverage.

Just like how financial markets inevitably fall when there is negative news globally, it's not because the news has a serious impact, but simply because it's a risk-averse behavior of funds.

Because... in a sense, those things in the financial market have no value whatsoever.

Even two completely unrelated industries can be affected.

Similarly, regarding Tianjin Capital's plans in the new energy sector, especially new energy vehicles.

In 2018, BYD sold only 240,000 vehicles, and its current price-to-earnings ratio has reached 70. Unless they can sell 500,000 vehicles this year, it is unlikely to stabilize.

In fact, it's impossible!
The acceptance of new energy vehicles is very low, and BYD has no expected space to exist.

Large corporations generally have opportunities that are easily investigated by research institutions, as they always possess more information than ordinary people.

The fact that they dared to give up shows that they are absolutely certain that those tickets won't recover within a year or two.

Guan Sheng didn't regret it at all. In fact, if Tianjin Capital still needed money, he would still try to help them get it.

After he returned before the Lunar New Year, he specifically asked around about Song Zhiyuan and learned that Song Zhiyuan was even more insane than him.

In order to regain the right to speak, he really pushed himself to the brink, but in the end he won. He accomplished something that seemed almost impossible.

Not only was the chairman of Tianshui Duck Industry purged, but Song Zhiyuan's self-destructive behavior also condemned everyone else to the pillory of shame.

Compared to Song Zhiyuan, we have contributed far less.

Even if they helped borrow a lot of money, it was only because they knew that Tianjin Capital had a large amount of its own funds in Tianjin Global Selection, which was equivalent to a mortgage loan.

Now, for every eleven percentage point increase in the net asset value of Tianjin Global Selection, Tianjin Capital's own funds will increase by more than 5 billion yuan.

In the past two trading days, their net asset value has successfully climbed to 9, continuing on the path of breaking through. The so-called pullback was completely reversed by the rise the day before yesterday.

What about Song Zhiyuan? His loan is purely credit-based.

Because they recognized Lin Lang's abilities and believed he could do it, they did it.

……

"During the Spring Festival, I had a meal with a friend and heard some news."

Wang Wei said something in the group chat.

"what news?"

"The major public funds already know that Tianjin Capital has heavily invested in new energy and are preparing to dump their shares."

"What?! Are they crazy? New energy is developing quite well, isn't it? It's one of the future directions, after all. Are they planning to throw away their chips and not participate in this sector anymore? They don't want those dividends anymore?"

"No, they had already calculated before dumping the shares that new energy vehicles would hardly see any epic positive developments in the next two years, such as a surge in orders or profits. In fact, there is almost no room for domestic new energy vehicles to rise in price within a year. They just need to hold on for a year, and then they can pick up the shares held by Tianjin Capital."

"No, are you so sure? Who is your friend?"

"No matter who it is, they may not be competitive abroad, but when it comes to studying the domestic market, they are always right! No matter how much I used to play with thematic stocks and speculate on leading stocks, I always had a large portion of my portfolio in trending stocks. If Tianjin Capital tries to forcefully push up new energy stocks this time, I'm afraid it will really cause trouble."

"What's going to happen?"

"Anyway, I'm planning to withdraw. If you trust me, I'll help you find directions to take. I can't guarantee you'll make money, but there will definitely be opportunities."

Wang Wei's friend comes from a public fund background and has certain sources of information within the public fund industry.

He doesn't know the specific direction yet, but it will be clear in about six months.

He no longer wanted to follow in Tianjin Capital's footsteps.
